Chapter 30: Shopping With a Smile

After this, we were able to spend the rest of our meal in calm.

Allister received the oatmeal he wanted, which strangely made him extremely grateful toward me. Cynthia also received what she wanted, even if I could notice she still looked disappointed from not having received her ice cream.

Similarly, Clair mocked Cynthia for having such a dirty meal, as she called it, contrary to her who had an extremely simple meal of yogurt of skiddo milk, with some sliced berries of multiple kinds covered with combee honey. She did seem shocked that there was even honey in the food, but she also refused to change it despite being proposed to...so I don't understand why she even complained in the first instance.

Of course Cynthia didn't appreciate her judgement and said that if she needed to follow such a strict diet just to still look as ugly, then she might as well eat like her.

Clair wanted to reply, but once, a quick frightened look toward me was enough to make her drop the matter.

I really don't...appreciate? Is that the word? Well I'm not sure I like this look...it was the same people threw at me when they saw me...and also right before trying to beat me.

...I hope she will stop looking at me like this eventually...at least that it will be replaced by a look of neutrality...or just disgust if possible.

Those who look at me with disgust only walk away from me while throwing some words, at least these don't hurt me.

Then there was Mina who seemed happy with just a berry salad with some apple sauce of a dipplin versed on top of it. She didn't speak much during the meal despite clearly loving to do it with how much she spoke to me earlier. Instead, she just brought out an empty canvas and started to scribble it with a pen.

As it was probably private, I tried to not look upon it despite my curiosity...I hope it was not a drawing of me as a monster...I think that Mina looks very friendly and nice...so I wouldn't want her to hate me.

Then for the newcomer, there was Sabrina who hadn't uttered a single word since the moment she came, no matter how much Cynthia tried to speak to her. Well it is probable that she just answered inside their head, as they all seemed to understand what she meant, despite being very brief about her information.

It seemed that she commanded herself just two tranches of bread with absolutely nothing on it, or beside it, so I can guess she wasn't very hungry.

I don't think that I will be able to become her friend, she doesn't even seem to trust me at all, nor anyone around us. And my current plan is to make everyone trust me so they can consider being my friend, then maybe try to trust them myself.

Finally, there was Bea who seemed the most energetic of everyone here. She stood right beside Allister and she was the one who talked the most with Cynthia during the meal. Weirdly, I expected that this would cause Cynthia to appreciate her more, but she seemed more worried about her than happy. She didn't even show this toward me, so I wonder what caused this reaction from her.

For her plate, it was filled with multiple kinds of pokemon meat, like some lechonk jambon, tepig bacon, some swinbun sausage, and finally a chansey omelette. I'm sure there was more than that, like some sandwiches, but she ate them so fast I was barely able to identify their content.

I did learn right after that apparently, this isn't some actual pokemon meat, but a replicate made out of vegetable material that can only be found in Sinnoh. Apparently this is where the economic strength of the Goldwin clan came from, as they can monopolize this resource...well they could if Volo permitted them from doing so, but apparently he is giving away this resource for free in almost infinite quantities. But it was still necessary to make a deal with them anyway, so their economic strength still soared to the sky...even if apparently they have some internal problem right now. All that to say is that despite testing like a pokemon, having the same texture and nutriment of meat, this was not pokemon meat.
